As promised, these are some pictures from my vacay, this was the 2nd day in the city, I wore my ST Weddings Tee and my trusty plimsoles/converse or whatever they're called.

We took the train, then the subway, Lagos definitely needs some express trains pronto, very smooth ride, then we took the subway.

We noticed that almost everyone wears sneakers in the city, even women in power suits, so much walking around, comfortable shoes are key and of course we had to get Dunkin Donuts, Simpsons had me salivating throughout my childhood.

Goofing around the Rockefeller Center, such a beautiful spot.

The Concrete jungle , releasing my inner Alicia Keys (lol)

Hi Guys,
I've been ( still am) on a mini vacation right now,as my sister steph said, even CEO's need a vacation (lol). Heading out, I didn't think I would be on vacation from my blog as well but alas, the Reign of laziness began, so many cute outfit posts and such and such planned but we know what happens to the best laid plans.

I didn't have a definite idea writing up this post, but i think i shall share some travelling tips/tricks/nuggets I've picked up over time (mostly from my mother and sisters).

1) Always get to the Airport 3 hours before time of flight.

2) Always set your watch to the time of every country you get to, with the clock at the airport, the automatic update on your phone can be an hour late or early.

3) Always use the restroom when you find one, could save your life!!!

4) Always wear comfortable shoes !! you never know when you'll need to RUN.
don't know how these celebrities do it in heels.

5) Be nice to people, you never know who's going to have that useful information you'll need.

These are the top 5 I can come up with off the top of my head, travelling is an adventure, be it local or international, I wonder if people become complete pro's at it, hope to become so, one day,very soon.

To Frequent Successful travelers i doff my hat.
I'll be putting up some pictures soon, till then

Love Reading fiction, takes me to some many places
Watching TV; its an art that so few understand .
Shopping; be it food, clothes, shoes, books, also includes window shopping
Garment and Outfit construction.

Hi guys,
A while back I reviewed a book by John Greene,HERE, "looking for Alaska", Ireally enjoyed the book so I went on to read several from the same author.
One of the books that moved me to tears was "The fault in Our Stars", and I am not easily moved to tears (or am I ? ) so it was really something.

I don't know if its just me with the very visual mind, but that book and its characters came alive in my head and I totally loved it.
Fast forward 7 months, the book has been made into a MOVIE !!!, I'm am so excited, although I haven't yet seen it, I imagine it will be awesome and deeply emotional, while it was showing, I was too deep in the storm that was examinations to go see it, but I watched the trailer over and over again and it was almost everything I had imagined while reading the book.
I really hope the director and producers didn't mess with the dialogue too much because that was what made the book so interesting and captivating in my opinion .
Have you guys seen it? Read the book?, tell me how it was, awesome or wishy washy. let me know what you guys think.

Been a while I did a proper book review, one coming up very soon *wink wink*

Hi Guys,
It seems like forever since I've been on here, like a totally different person has occupied the space in my head, but that's talk for another day.
I've never really fancied flower prints, always got a "mummy" vibe from them, but this top for some reason caught my fancy, maybe because I hadn't bought anything in ages , who knows, so I paired it with jeans for a casual day of stuffing my face with nice food and drinks.
Originally intended to pose by some flowers and greenery but was convinced by some professionals to go with the concrete, it would've been flower overkill, glad I didn't.

It's good to be back !

Thanks Olamide and Korede for the pretty pictures *kisses*

Hi Guys,
You may have noticed from my birthday post, my HAIR, in so much as i love colour, I am generally not an adventurous person when it comes to my hair colour, colouring, bleaching , dyeing my natural hair is out of the question, so when i found this lovely black and wine weave, easy to manage, went for it .

I got a lot of compliments , weeks and weeks after and i totally LOVE it.

People are becoming more and more adventurous with colour, seen green, blue, pink of the ombre effect, well not in Lagos as of yet but I'm sure it won't take long to get here.
